save the bachelors

Chapter 4404 4406 [Elizabeth and Will Turner]

"Let's drink, brothers, burning and looting is our pleasure. Let's drink, brothers, Yo, I'm a pirate, so I steal, I extort, and I don't care..."

A childish song came from the bow. It was "Pirate Song", but it sounded a bit discordant on a Royal Navy ship.

"Stop singing, miss. There are often pirates here. You don't want to attract them." At this time, Second Mate Josh Gibbs stepped forward, stopped the little girl from singing, and reminded her cautiously.

Every profession has its own taboos. In the Caribbean Sea, where pirates frequently appear, singing such a song is very taboo, as if "speaking of the devil will bring him to the rescue."

"Stop, Gibbs." Xiang Nan stepped forward to stop him.

"Captain, she's singing pirate songs." Gibbs said worriedly, "In this unusually thick fog, singing pirate songs can easily bring bad luck."

"As long as I'm here, this isn't something you should be concerned about." Xiang Nan ordered, "Go do what you should do."

Gibbs was only the second mate on the ship, and it was the captain who should be worried about the ship.

"Yes, Captain." Gibbs reluctantly left the bow, muttering, "Bringing a woman on board always brings bad luck, even a little child like this."

A long time ago, there was a rule in the shipping industry that women were not allowed on board ships.

On the one hand, women are naturally relatively weak and are not suitable for heavy physical labor and high-risk work such as in the shipping industry; on the other hand, there are usually men on board, and if there are women, it can easily cause chaos.

There are no laws and regulations on the sea, and drifting on the sea for a long time will inevitably make people want to swim. It is said that after three years in prison, a sow will be as beautiful as Diao Chan.

Once a man has evil intentions, women are easily harmed. In order to compete for women, men will also be jealous, which will affect the order of the fleet and make it difficult to manage.

So over time, it became taboo for women to get on board.

Of course, there are female pirates in the world. Madam Qing, one of the nine pirate kings, is a woman and the pirate king of the Pacific Ocean.

As Gibbs spoke, he took out a leather hip flask and took a sip.

He had a problem with alcoholism and often drank secretly. Because of this, he later violated military regulations and was expelled from the Royal Navy.

……

"I think it would be exciting to meet pirates," Elizabeth Swan said, turning around and smiling.

She is twelve years old this year. Although she is still very young, she is already a beauty.

"Miss Swan, I agree with you." Xiang Nan nodded and smiled, "I also look forward to meeting pirates."

He knew that although Elizabeth came from a prominent family and had been educated as a lady since childhood, she was born unruly and indulgent and loved freedom. She yearned for the free and unfettered life of pirates.

She is a bit like Rose in Titanic. However, Rose still needs Jack to guide and encourage her. Elizabeth is more proactive than Rose and actively devotes herself to the pirate business, and thus she finally becomes the Pirate King.

Therefore, it is definitely a bad idea to confront a person with this kind of personality. Only by following her thoughts can you make her feel good.

James Norrington was too formal, too old-fashioned, and too upright, so he was unable to win Elizabeth's heart after spending ten years with her. In contrast, Jack Sparrow spent only a few days with Elizabeth, far less than a month, but she was already moved and began to waver between Will Turner and him.

Sure enough, after hearing Xiang Nan say this, Elizabeth's face suddenly lit up with joy.

"My Dreadnought has a hundred cannons and brave warriors who have experienced hundreds of battles." Xiang Nan said confidently, "They are eager to blow all the invading pirates into slag and let them sink to the bottom of the sea forever. That is their best destination."

The Dreadnought was considered the top battleship in the Caribbean today. Not only was it huge, but it was also equipped with a hundred guns.

What's even more amazing is that the captain of this ship is Xiang Nan. With his strength, no one or any ship can threaten him except the sea god Colibuso.

Even Barbossa's undead army, Davy Jones's Flying Dutchman, Blackbeard's army of zombies and Salazar's ghost army.

……

"Captain Norrington, I appreciate that." At this time, Governor Weatherby Swan came over, "But I am worried about my daughter. She shouldn't hear this."

After all, Elizabeth was only a twelve-year-old child and should not have heard such bloody and cruel things.

"Actually, I think it's very interesting." Elizabeth said with anticipation. She had never seen a naval battle before and really wanted to see it with her own eyes.

"This is exactly what I am most worried about." Governor Swan said meaningfully.

No one knows a daughter better than her father. His daughter has loved adventure since she was young, and she is as naughty as a boy. She climbs trees, rides horses, hunts foxes... He is really worried that she will not be able to become a lady and will have a hard time getting married in the future.

Elizabeth had no idea about this, until suddenly a flower umbrella on the sea caught her attention.

It was a very beautiful flower umbrella with beautiful lace and delicate embroidery, and it was worth a lot of money. But now it was floating on the sea, which was really unexpected.

Elizabeth couldn't help but be attracted by it. When she was wondering where it came from, she subconsciously looked in the direction where the umbrella was drifting, and saw a wooden board floating on the sea, and on the board was lying a child, whose life or death was unknown.

"Look, there's a boy floating on the sea." The kind Elizabeth immediately shouted.

Xiang Nan also saw it at this time, and he knew that the boy was Will Turner, the son of Bill Turner and Arabella Smith.

According to the book "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Legend of Captain Jack Sparrow", Arabella Smith was Captain Jack Sparrow's first first mate, and they once sailed together on the Brent Goose to search for the Sword of Colters.

This sword once belonged to the Spanish colonist Hernán Cortes, who used it to lead his army to conquer the Aztec Empire and imprisoned the souls of the Inca royal family.

Jack accidentally stole the scabbard of the Sword of Cortez at the Faithful Bride bar where Arabella worked, and thus began a journey to find the sword with Arabella.

They find the Sword of Cortes, but are haunted by the ghost of Hernán Cortes, from whom Jack learns exquisite swordplay.

However, according to the setting, in the world of "Pirates of the Caribbean", Will Turner's swordsmanship is the best, James Norrington and Hector Barbossa are evenly matched in swordsmanship, and Captain Jack's swordsmanship is the worst.

Jack then found a way to unseal the souls of the Inca royal family with the help of the voodoo witch Tia Dalma, and eventually the souls of the Inca royal family were released and died together with the ghost of Hernan Cortes.
